John Hannay is a loner. Strong, brilliant, tenacious and damaged, still haunted by the wreckage of his childhood. He is also the grandson of Richard Hannay, the hero of The Thirty Nine Steps. And he’s the only man who can halt a crime intended to wreak havoc on the British economy. As the merciless onslaught ratchets up, he discovers that he is the target of a calculated revenge attack. But revenge for what? To find out, he must fight government corruption, scandal, fraud, murder and vengeance. And the only way to that – is to stay alive.
